So waiting 80 minutes in an ac thrasher making 2000km away warp points to a station undock doesn't count?
Patric Murphy -KORKY- at the time was pretty good natured about it.
Found him docking his harpy just as I dropped out of warp. He wasn't going to undock any time soon with my thrasher sitting under the station 4km from where he would emerge. So I waited patiently... 10 minutes pass. He undocked a shuttle and starts spiralling, it will take him at least 8s to get his shuttle under control and warp off -he redocks. Another 20 minutes go by and I've made a point 800km to the side of the station... try the warp in and bounced 15km off the station. 10 minutes later, I'm 1300km under the station... warp to... damn, I'm above the undock bouncing around in the station structure. I decide to get above the station about 30km directly above the undock and set the point, warp down 1300km and for the next 10 minutes or so warp in a various ranges until I am firmly at the undock after I drop from warp and finish drifting.
A full half hour passes with me aligned upward to the station at 10m/s punching the scanner -set to 1400km- every 10s to see if he's undocking. Finally, I see his shuttle undock and disappear... if he's bugged for the gate, I'm screwed. I punch the scanner again
30 seconds later, hoping my ploy as worked and he redocked to get the harpy out. BINGO. Harpy on scan.
Knowing that Patric needs 8s to finish his spiralling undock and another 5 to align for warp, I punch for warp.
10km from me...
9km...
he's spiralling and has tried to align
8km... approaching and locking -crap, mwd active.
7km... he's locked. Web and Scram disrupt propulsion.
4km... 6 200mm Autocannons tear away shields. 2 E5 nos begin draining cap.
3km... Harpy armor buckles, shells actually start passing through the ship.
Capsule locked...

I thought I had faired pretty well against Patric's Harpy. I later was crazy enough to swap out the web for a T2 gallente specific ecm jammer and dueled Olixia's (KORKY at the time) Thorax with some nasty ec drones and wicked blasters. Between jamming each other -rarely at the same time- the duel lasted much longer than either of us expected. That is until I failed to jam her and her drones jammed me and 2 volleys from all of her blasters blew me up. Was a duel to structure, Olixia was good enough to sell me back what survived and left it in a can for a corpie to recover.
